Computational evidence

Protein change
Missense predictors do not apply to this variant type; conservation carries the signal.
Consequence	nonsense (stop-gain)	predicted loss-of-function
NMD	predicted	premature termination codon in exon 10 of 21
Splicing
SpliceAI	<0.2	all four deltas below 0.2 · C>G here scores Δ0.20 · evaluated, not missing
Constraint at this position
Conservation	phyloP 7.5	GERP 1.6, phastCons 1
Overall
CADD	49.0	PHRED · no single calibrated threshold — expert panels disagree

Predicted loss-of-function is descriptive, not an applied PVS1 code.

Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
